Saturday, December 22, lOOO.
More than eight weeks of contin
uous sunshine were rounded out here
early in the week, and during the entire
time visitors have rejoiced in it. To be
sure the wondrously beautiful days which
have been the rule may be a bit better than
is general, but they are by no means a
"record," as all who have been frequent
visitors here are aware.
During the entire time there has been
no day that the sun has not shone, and
upon all but a very few it has greeted
visitors in the morning and said good-bye
at night, day after day, week after week,
without intermission. There has been
nearly as much rain as usual, but after
the usual custom, most of it has fallen at
night.
Statisticians have declared that no sec
tion of the country is as abundantly
blessed with sunshine, as. Pinehurst, but
the mere statement in type makes little
impression upon the reader. The repu
tation of the Village in this particular
rests with its friends, and the memory of
days spent here can never be effaced.
"Above and beyond all," wrote an
admirer, "Pinehurst is The Land of Sun
shine! Never have I seen a larger per
centage of sunshiny days, or the sunlight
more beautiful; the landscape radiates
it; mankind, the birds, nature every
living thing rejoices in it.
"One associates it with the Village, as
majesty with the ocean, grandeur with
the mountains, mystery with the forest,
and it is a pleasant memory which
beckons, as the face of a dear friend."
"I find i can't enjoy life without The
Outlook," writes John R.Goodall of St.
Louis, who has recently returned home
after a month's sojourn here, "and here
with enclose check for subscription to
same.
"Every day in St. Louis makes me re
gret that I had to leave Pinehurst, for the
weather has been the regular fall variety :
rain, cloudy and cold, with a prediction
of snow tonight ; in striking contrast to
your sunny days.
"Anticipating a future visit and with
best wishes, I am
John 11. Goodall."

Without It.
Monkey golf has always been a case of
"more" here and the' present season
promises to be no exception to the rule,
the second contest of the year delighting
a big crowd of participants and onlookers

There was fun, frolic, laughter and
noise from the first hole to the last and
amusing situations without number. Four
teams participated with Alexander Ross,
Donald Ross, John Peacock, and II. G.
White as captains, and while the victors
had things all their own way, interest
never lagged because of the struggle for
second place.
Alex's team led with one hundred and
thirteen, a very low score, with Donald's
team second with one hundred and thirty
two, White's third in one hundred and

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION
Ter-Centennial Will be Interesting and
Uniqne in Many Ways.
A Description of the Most Important
Feature With Accompany
ing Illustration.
Eft ixrr-CXS?
RESIDENT McKinley
at the Pan-American
Exposition, designated
expositions as "Timekeep
ers of Progress" and the
Jamestown Ter-Centen
nial will be no exception to this rule, for
it will record in the most vivid way im
aginable, the progress made by this
country in the past three hundred year?.
This exposition, to be held on the shores
of Hampton Roads, seven miles from
Norfolk, Virginia, beginning next April,
will commemorate the three hundredth
anniversary of the first permanent Eng
lish settlement in America, and will be in
many respects, the most interesting ex
position ever held in this country.
In keeping with the nature of the cele
bration, and made possible by the advan
tageous location of the grounds, there
will be a grand military and naval dis
play which will eclipse in martial splen
dor any land or water pageant ever
witnessed in the world, and in response
to the President's invitation, the follow
ing nations have made known their in
tention of participating in the celebra
tion: England, Germany, Russia, France,
Japan, Switzerland, Cuba, Mexico, Haiti,
Belgium, Costa Rica, Argentine Republic
and the Dominican Republic, Norway,
Sweden and Spain. In addition to these
forces there will be the thousand and one
military, semi-military and civic organi
zations encamped on the grounds from
time to time, all going to make up the
gorgeous military and naval display.
In accordance with the resolutions
passed by Congress there will be on dio
play at the Jamestown Exposition by the
Government of the United States exhibits
from the National Museum, the Smith
sonian Institution, the Bureau of Fish
eries, the Congressional Library, the
Lighthouse Service, the Life Saving
Service, the Revenue Cutter Service, and
others. The liberal appropriation by
Congress at the recent term gives assur
ance that the 1907 Exposition will be a
grand success.
Special attention has been paid to the
landscape design of the Exposition. Not
only will the numerous buildings of the
Ter-Centennial be features of art and
beauty, but the whole scene buildings,
grounds and even the fence that encloses
the site will be blended together in one
beautiful park.
One of the important buildings at the
Exposition which is virtually completed
is the Auditorium and Hall of Con
gresses. The colonial style of architec
ture, which is to be the prevailing type,
is strictly adhered to in this structure.
The main auditorium has a seating ca
pacity of four thousand. The Auditorium
is a permanent brick and concrete struc
ture, and will be equipped with all the
modern appliances.
To the right and left of this structure,
and connected with it by colonnades, will
be the Educational building and Ihe
Pal ace of History and Historic Art, twin
structures fifty feet high. This group,
at the head of the plaza, forms a center
piece for the general architectural design.
The long lines of white columns are to
be of Corinthian style, and the dome
which surmounts the Auditorium is of
the same design as those that appear on
several of the old State Capitol build
ings. At the corners of the square will be
erected four main exhibit buildings.
These buildings will complete the central
square, leaving only the sea end open
thus making a vista from the steps of the
Auditorium, unobscured, to Fort Monroe,
seven miles distant, across the waters of
Hampton Roads.
Two of the largest buildings, already
half completed, are those for manufac
tures and liberal arts, and for machinery
and transportation. These splendid
structures have 130,000 square feet of ex
hibit space each, and are 550 feet wide by
280 feet deep.
A group of buildings to be known as
the "Village of Arts and Crafts," already
completed, contain shops and studios
wherein will be produced specimens of
such useful and decorative articles as
were used by the early colonists.
exposition notes.
The question of local transportation be
tween the Jamestown Exposition grounds
and the adjacent cities is one that inter
ests most people who contemplate a visit
to the Exposition, and it may not be out
of order to state that ample provision is
being made to handle all the people who
come. The railway lines, trolley lines
and steamboat lines are awake to the fact
that there will be thousands of people to '
handle every day and are making ample
provision for the traffic.
The state buildings will all front upon
Hampton Roads, and the naval and ma
rine displays may be seen from their ve
randas and balconies. From the water
front the groups of state buildings make
a beautiful picture, and the people from
the states which have buildings at the ex
position will like to spend much time in
their spacious halls and in their shady
verandas.
A forestry exhibit of immense interest
will be an attractive feature, for it will
embrace the entire United States, and
woods and woodcraft will be shown in
this exhibit that have never been known
before. This exhibit will be an education
in itself.
A reproduction of the world famous
battle between the Monitor and the Mer
rimac will be an attraction that will in
terest all visitors. It will be made just
off the exposition grounds where the
battle was fought.
An immense collection of Indian relics,
covering three centuries, will be one of
the government exhibits.
